FSC football has a new place-kicker in Ashley Baker, ’08. Baker, a geography major who transferred to FSC from Utica College, had been a star goalkeeper with the FSC women’s soccer team for the past two years. She was a member of the team that won the NCAA Sportsmanship Award.

After playing women’s soccer for a total of four years between Utica and Framingham, she was ineligible by NCAA rules to play a fifth season for the soccer team, and quickly took up Coach Kelly’s invitation to join the new-look Rams’ football team.

Baker made her first field goal in the Rams’ 17-10 win over MIT in the second game of the season and is currently one of only two women playing on an NCAA Division III football team. She is believed to be the highest-scoring woman player in Division III football in recent years. With her hard-working attitude and fiery competitiveness she has earned the respect of everyone else on the team as well as many outside the team.
